Abstract: A method for singulating semiconductor wafers comprises the steps of aiming a first and a second laser beam over a top surface of the substrate; forming scribe lines in the coating layer by scanning the first laser beam across the coating layer; and cutting through the substrate along the scribe lines with the second laser beam to form a respective kerf. The apparatus includes a first laser having a first wavelength placed over the coating layer of the substrate, and a second laser having a second wavelength different from that of the first laser placed over a surface of the substrate. The coating layer has a first absorption coefficient relative to a wavelength of the first laser and the semiconductor substrate has a second absorption coefficient less than the first absorption coefficient. Energy from the first laser beam is absorbed into the coating layer to form scribe lines therein, and the second laser beam cuts through the substrate along the scribe lines.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production of a metallic powder consisting of surface-fissured, so-called irregular particles, namely a water-atomised metallic powder. The aim of the invention is to obtain an irregular surface form of powder grains ( 23 ) in a narrow weight class and to impart a high porosity with a homogeneous distribution to the sintered body. To this end, in a first step, the pouring stream ( 2 ) is deviated in its flow direction and is enlarged on its surface, and in a second step, the surface-enlarged pouring stream ( 21 ) is deviated again its flow direction and is divided, and the liquid metallic particles ( 22 ) formed are accelerated, and in a third step, the displaced liquid metallic particles ( 22 ) are applied and divided, at an angle gamma of between 10 and 90° in relation to the displacement direction of the same, with a high speed current ( 51 ) formed at least partially from a liquid medium, and the particles ( 23 ) are then solidified. According to one embodiment of the invention, in order to reduce the overheating of the metal melt and/or to improve the quality of the metallic powder produced, the pouring stream ( 2 ) is deviated in its flow direction and a surface enlargement of the same ( 21 ) is carried out, in a first method step, and/or the surface-enlarged pouring stream ( 21 ) is deviated and divided, and the formed liquid metallic particles ( 22 ) are accelerated, in the second method step, with at least one current ( 6,31,41 ) formed from at least one heated gas or heated gas mixture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facilitated transport membrane for separation of alkene hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon mixtures, comprising a porous supported membrane and a solid polymer electrolyte layer consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer having double carbon bonds. The facilitated transport membrane according to the present invention is prepared by forming a solid polymer electrolyte layer on a porous supported membrane, in which the solid polymer electrolyte consists of a transition metal salt and a polymer having double carbon bonds capable of selectively and reversibly forming a complex with alkene hydrocarbons. In particular, the polymer matrix allows the transition metal salt to be well dissociated because it contains carbon double bonds capable of forming a complex with an ion of a transition metal. The facilitated transport membrane thus prepared is characterized in that its permeance and selectivity to alkene hydrocarbons is high and in that the complex of a metal and polymer ligand in the solid polymer electrolyte sustains its activity as a carrier for alkene hydrocarbons even under long-term dry operating conditions.

Abstract: An antenna which is intended especially for radio telephones and the directivity pattern of which can be altered controllably, and a radio telephone having such an antenna. An antenna structure includes at least one conductive element, additional from the viewpoint of the basic operation of the antenna, in order to shape the directivity pattern of the antenna. Such a conductive element (330, 340) is connected to signal ground at a point relatively near the feed point (F) of the antenna. The conductive element includes a part (331) the length of which is about a quarter of the wavelength at the operating frequency of the antenna, pointing from the ground point (G) in a direction substantially opposite to the feeding direction of the radiating element (320). This part is used to equalize the antenna pattern in the receiving band. In addition, the conductive element includes a second part (332) pointing from the ground point to the feeding direction of the radiating element to set the radiation pattern null at the transmitting band frequencies in the desired direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de passer d'une substance thérapeutique à l'autre s'administrant au patient (38) avec des débits différents. La première substance thérapeutique est administrée au patient selon un débit connu. On calcule une période de transition (116 ou 128) égale au volume connu divisé par le débit connu, puis on régule le débit après introduction d'une seconde substance thérapeutique dans le réservoir. Si le second débit est inférieur au premier, l'administration de l'une au moins des deux substances thérapeutiques commence avec le second débit dès que la période de transition (116) est terminée. Si le second débit est supérieur au premier, l'administration de l'une au moins des deux substances thérapeutiques commence avec le second débit au plus tard à la fin de la période de transition (128).

Abstract: A communication system for selecting a PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network). In the communication system, an MS (Mobile Station) transmits an MIN (Mobile Identification Number) message, an ESN (Electronic Serial Number) message and a location update request signal containing location information such that the MS's location can be registered, and searches for the PLMN on the basis of an HPLMN search period value corresponding to the location update request signal. An MSC (Mobile Switching Center) performs an authentication procedure for the MS transmitting the location update request signal, and extracts the location information from the location update request signal. A VLR (Visitor Location Register) stores subscriber data of the MS provided from an outside and registers a location of the MS. An HLR (Home Location Register) updates the location information of the MS extracted from the MSC, variably sets a search period value at a time of searching for an HPLMN or higher-priority PLMN on the basis of the location information of the MS, and transmits the set search period value to the MS. <IMAGE>
